When we think of balcony inspections in California, the focus often lands on residential buildings, driven by the mandates of SB 326 and SB 721. But let’s not forget: commercial properties have balconies too! And these elevated outdoor spaces come with their own set of challenges and compliance requirements. Whether it’s a bustling restaurant patio, a rooftop terrace at a tech company, or a charming balcony overlooking a retail storefront, ensuring the safety and accessibility of these spaces is paramount. Let’s delve into the unique considerations for balcony inspections in commercial properties and how DrBalcony can help you navigate this complex landscape. #drbalcony #balconyinspectionscalifornia #sb721balconyinspections #sb326balconyinspections #BalconyInspection #CaliforniaBalcony #SB326 #SB721 #HOA #PropertyManagement

San Jose, the heart of Silicon Valley, is a city known for its innovation, vibrant culture, and stunning natural beauty. Amidst the bustling tech scene and picturesque landscapes, property owners and managers face a crucial responsibility: ensuring the safety and compliance of their buildings’ balconies and exterior elevated elements (EEEs). That’s where Senate Bill 721 (SB 721) comes in. This California law mandates periodic inspections of balconies, decks, walkways, and other EEEs in multi-family dwellings, aiming to prevent catastrophic failures and protect residents. In a city like San Jose, where seismic activity and diverse weather patterns can impact the structural integrity of these elements, compliance with SB 721 is not just a legal obligation—it’s a commitment to safety and responsible property management. #drbalcony #balconyinspectionscalifornia #sb721balconyinspections #sb326balconyinspections #BalconyInspection #CaliforniaBalcony #SB326 #SB721 #HOA #PropertyManagement

But for homeowners in condominiums and townhomes, these elevated outdoor spaces come with a responsibility: ensuring their safety and compliance with state regulations.

An SB 326 inspection is a comprehensive assessment of a building’s exterior elevated elements (EEEs), including balconies, decks, walkways, stairways, and their associated railings and waterproofing systems. The inspection must be conducted by a qualified professional, such as a licensed architect, structural engineer, or certified building inspector. The goal is to identify any existing or potential safety hazards, structural deficiencies, or non-compliance with building codes and regulations. #drbalcony #balconyinspectionscalifornia #sb721balconyinspections #sb326balconyinspections #BalconyInspection #CaliforniaBalcony #SB326 #SB721 #HOA #PropertyManagement

What Types of Properties in Los Angeles Are Covered by SB 326? SB 326, officially known as the Maintenance of Exterior Elevated Elements in Common Interest Developments, primarily targets: Condominiums and Communities with HOAs: If your Los Angeles property is a condominium or part of a homeowners’ association (HOA) with three or more attached units, SB 326 likely applies to you. The law aims to ensure the safety of exterior elevated elements (EEEs) in these types of communities. Attached Units: The key here is that the units must be physically connected, sharing a common wall or structure. Detached single-family homes, even within an HOA, are generally exempt from SB 326. EEEs Six Feet or Higher: The law focuses on balconies, decks, porches, stairways, walkways, and other similar structures that are elevated six feet or more above the ground. These are the elements most susceptible to deterioration and pose the greatest risk in case of failure. #drbalcony #balconyinspectionscalifornia #sb721balconyinspections #sb326balconyinspections #BalconyInspection #CaliforniaBalcony #SB326 #SB721 #HOA #PropertyManagement
